That is a very generous offer, thank you. I will try to spin up a VM in 
which I can install a newer GDC.

As a broader point, though, do you think it would help improve adoption 
of GDC (and perhaps the D ecosystem overall) if one could `tar xfvz 
gdc-9.tar.gz && export PATH gdc/bin` in the same way we do with DMD and 
LDC? I understand this has not been the traditional model with GCC, but 
then again the LDC team do not iterate only when LLVM updates major 
version either.

Kind regards
